From Dec 1, 2021, we'll be changing how tags in URLs are parsed, making searching for tags with special characters or multiple words more precise. You can choose to opt in ahead of time via a toggle over at tumblr.com/customize. Read on for more info.
What's this about? We're telling you about a new setting you can toggle on the web at tumblr.com/customize, to support spaces, hyphens, plus signs, and underscores in tags. After Dec 1, this change will be enabled on all blogs, but you'll still be able to opt out using the same toggle.
Who will be affected by this change? Anyone who has:
Bookmarked /tagged or /search pages;
/tagged or /search page links in a post, a blog's theme or description, or somewhere outside of Tumblr.
What do you need to do? If that's you, click here or head to tumblr.com/customize and toggle the "Use better tagged and search URL decoding."
You'll need to update any hard-coded URLs to /tagged and /search pages that you added manually to those URLs. However, you won't need to make any updates to the tags on your posts.
Questions? Read the original announcement on changes, read the Help Center article here, let us know what you think over on @wip, or reach out to Support with any queries.
since staff is absolutely useless at explaining what this actually implies, i went to turn it on to see what happens, and basically it just changed the way tags and searches work in urls
before, if you wanted to go to a blog's tag that had a space in it, the url would end in "/tagged/tag-here" but now it's "/tagged/tag%20here" (html/javascript/ascii or something encodes a space as %20)
so before, to view something i'd tagged as "#ask game" on my blog, i'd type my url and "/tagged/ask-game" but this is where that leads now
and to get to the actual "#ask game" tag i have to type this now
i hope this helped somewhat, i don't know how exactly this impacts the search function since it's so broken i never bother to use it, maybe someone else can explain that
i think it's a pretty good change, since before you couldn't have any dashes in tags bc they wouldn't actually display posts properly if you tried to go to that tag later, they'd just be changed into spaces, but it does mean i'll have to go around and change some urls in my pinned and bookmarks. i'm glad you can opt out tho bc i imagine this would be extremely annoying for some people
